Phantom Hands
OFFICE CHAIR V LEG
Teak chair with armrests
The OFFICE CHAIR V LEG is re-edition of the office cane chair originally made for administrative offices in Chandigarh. Structural nuances seen in vintage pieces - including finger joints, inclination of the seat, bowed backrest, gentle rounding of edges along the length of arms and legs - are given due attention in our version of the chair. Attention is also paid to rustic elements of the original design (such as cane-work knots left exposed at the back of chair) which are all diligently preserved. The natural rattan cane used in the seat and back rest is peeled and woven meticulously by hand.
Wood finish: Natural Teak / Dark Stain / Z4 Walnut/ Black Finish
Weave type: Diamond Weave / Cross Weave
Project Chandigarh is our homage to Indian Modernism, a style and philosophy of making that manifested in Chandigarh in the 1950s. Our re-editions's of these mid-century designs use the same craftsmanship and philosophy of making that was used for three decades in Chandigarh. The nuances and details that make these designs special – finger joints, curvatures, grooves – are retained while improving the pieces structurally and materially. The natural rattan cane used for the seats and backs are peeled and woven by hand, by highly skilled weavers just like in the vintage pieces.
